£600K makeover for Market Place in Eastleigh

IT’s the new look for a town centre that it is hoped will bring in trade and boost investment.

Yesterday, people in Eastleigh got their first glimpse of what a £600,000 revamp of a key part of the town centre could look like.

The plans, which were on display for the first time at a public exhibition, include repaving Market Place in Eastleigh with natural stone, increasing its size, removing raised planting beds and “reducing clutter”

in the area. Civic chiefs say the current set-up has been in place for 21 years and is in need of a change to link the recreation ground to the town.

It is hoped the scheme will boost trade in the area and stimulate business interest and private investment in the town centre.
